I spent forever looking for a budget-friendly DD-WRT capable router with gigabit Ethernet and 802.11b/g/n (802.11ac was optional), and good reviews at multiple websites. This router was on the upper range of what I wanted to spend but was pretty much the only affordable gigabit DD-WRT router that doesn't appear to have flashing issues. This router also took first place in c|net's December 2017 list of "budget" routers. Since flashing new firmware voids the warranty and risks bricking the device, you've got to be quite certain that flashing will work and spending anything over $70 on a potential brick is not a good use of one's money. Custom firmwares are, in my opinion, best on hardware in the $20 to $50 range - if it bricks, you aren't going to kick yourself too hard.Everything else on my network has been gigabit capable for the past year. This router was the last piece. The TEW-818DRU flashes with DD-WRT right out of the box (i.e. I didn't need to 30/30/30 reset but I also skipped the router's setup screen). I highly recommend NOT using the version found in the DD-WRT router database on the website and instead find a recent DD-WRT beta on the DD-WRT FTP site to be able to take advantage of the "Unbridged + Net Isolation" feature for a super easy guest network setup (I went with r34411 - the latest at the time of this writing). That saved me a lot of time because I didn't have to write a bunch of annoying iptables firewall rules.If you've never used DD-WRT but want to experiment with it, I recommend NOT buying this router. Instead, find a nice, cheap, basic, supported b/g/n $20 router and play with that first until you are comfortable with the interface. DD-WRT is a bit awkward if you aren't used to high-end enterprise equipment. It doesn't hold your hand and there's quite a bit of terminology that even I don't understand. However, I've found that DD-WRT is generally far more stable than most firmwares that come with routers.I'm knocking off one star for the price. I don't think consumer routers should cost as much as they tend to and there's not really that much of a noticeable difference between a $20 router and a $200 router for most users. A router is a necessary piece of equipment to manage and isolate local network traffic. My previous router was a $20 b/g/n 10/100 Rosewill router (flashed with DD-WRT, of course), which served me quite well for the last 5 years. I attempted to flash another $20 no-name router prior to that one with Tomato and bricked it. Your mileage may vary, but the TEW-818DRU is a solid piece of hardware that (currently) fully supports DD-WRT. However, be aware that the wireless radio lights with DD-WRT don't show their status correctly but both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios still work as expected.One final note: A lot of consumer wireless router manufacturers apparently have started actively blocking DD-WRT firmware under the extremely weak excuse of "adhering to FCC regulations." If you update to the latest firmware for this router, you may not be able to flash it with DD-WRT later on. I went straight from the shipping firmware to DD-WRT and had no issues. I use WPA2-Enterprise on my network and support for EAP-TLS is rather flaky/non-existent in consumer router firmwares. Also, I use several custom firewall rules to isolate certain aspects of my network (okay, so I had to write some firewall rules still but nothing overly complicated like telling each bridge in a network to not talk to the other bridges - which gets complicated fast when you've got 4+ subnets). Therefore, DD-WRT is really the only option for me.I have originally used numerous Linksys/Cisco routers in the past but due to heat problems and replacement issues I tried to seek something different. Going online to read reviews, the AC1900 came up as a top contender, having all the features needed for today and the future all at a great price.The router arrived and I unpacked it and hooked it up. Immediately, the router was issuing IP addresses to my machines both wireless and wired connections; however, it had a lot of issues connecting to the Cisco Cable Modem provided by Charter Internet Services. I hooked my computer into the Charter Modem and was able to connect through there but as soon as I put the router in between my PC and the modem, nothing worked. The router was not getting an IP address like the computer did when I connected it. I tried numerous fixes both resetting the router and restarting the modem and router numerous times but nothing succeeded. I then called their support line and was connected to a support person almost immediately. She went through a lot of the same steps I had already taken and she then waited for me to speak with Charter to see if the problem was on their end. We got the modem reset on Charter’s end and again went through numerous restarts of the router and it finally connected. She was very helpful despite the language/pronunciation barrier and spent nearly an hour on the phone until the issue was resolved.Now that it’s up and running, the speed and connectivity of both the wired and wireless connections is superfast. I’ve transferred large files to test the both speeds (wired and wireless) as well as connecting to the speedtest.net site to compare the Wi-Fi and wired connections and I will say I was impressed. The wireless was only 10% slower than the wired for download and even gave me a faster upload speed. I know that has to do with traffic through Charter as well as the server they use to test but it was encouraging to see both so close in speed.Right now, the device has been up and running for one day and I will say I do like it. The configuration page was easy to change things like admin and Wi-Fi passwords as well as the broadcast ID. It also gave me a quick look at what was connected and various other setup items that I need.I will definitely consider a TrendNet router again should I ever have the need. I hope this one will last a long time and do like having the 3 year warranty included with the device.Good. Easy to configure and there are enough features to make the network secured. The radio signal is also good considering I had this in a building with concrete walls. The only downside is, there is no stand to hold this in place. It's quite easy to topple. You cannot mount it as well. The design is good, the heat from the inside of the router is pushed out from the slots on top of the router to keep the heat at bay.Édit du 19/05 : ai eu enfin une réponse de TrendNet. Avec une procédure bateau. Mais cela m'a permis d'idenrifier le problème rencontré : les dysfonctionnements proviennent dès qu'un device sans hostname (ici Chromebook) se connecte. Avec IP fixe ou DHCP. Problème rapporté au support.Portée correcte. Vitesse correcte. Firmware défaillant et le Support de Trendnet semble ne plus se soucier de ce produit.On a donc : mélange de périphériques wifi dans les connexions filaires (impact sur le qos qui ne respecte pas les filtres par adresses IP). On a également : non respect des plages horaires définies (par exemple impossible de faire éteindre le wifi selon les plannings paramétrés).J'étais très content du tew-813dru mais ce routeur ne fonctionne pas correctement. Et plus personne ne semble s'en soucier (aucune réponse du Support de Trendnet).Estaba buscando un router pequeño con suficiente potencia y que fuera de banda ac (5GHz) porque la interferencia es muy alta en los canales de banda 2.4GHz en donde yo vivo. He resuelto satisfactoriamente los problemas de banda, e incluso la señal del canal de 2.4 que también publica el router es suficiente para resolver en gran parte los problemas de interferencia.I always like Trendnet products. Runs great no issues and easy setup.Lo he instalado para cubrir el área de dos aulas de mi centro escolar. Ahora todos mis alumn@s acceden a la red sin problemas de conexión. He llegado a conectar 27 equipos simultáneamente. Es fácil de configurar.
